Borovets weather and snow forecast by Mark IOS

For those of you who missed the weather and snow forecast by Mark IOW posted in our discussion forum, here is what he reported.

"Here is the forecast for the next 7 days or so, with an outlook beyond that will probably change.

Firstly, temperatures are going to remain cold for most of the week and probably remaining below zero for the majority of the time. Top station in Borovets may get as warm as minus 2c this week! Temperatures will start to rise slowly from Thursday (21st Feb) onwards and continuing rising into the following week where early indications suggest it could be +7 or 8c by Monday (25th) but that is a little way off yet to be certain.

On Monday night a moderate amount will fall but as Monday night gets underway then the snow will become heavy to very heavy by Tuesday daytime. By Wednesday morning, the snow will have finished and it should be a lovely, cold and crisp sunny day.

Now for the uncertainty Thursday sees a break in the weather patterns and a change in the jet stream too. As I said, temperatures are going to steadily rise through until Monday. There is a potential for a huge dump over this period, but the uncertainly is what will fall as snow and what will fall as rain. There is 5 of 6 days, or even more, of unsettled very wet (I mean rain or snow) weather to come from Thursday but is all going to rest on temperatures and altitude. I shall keep an eye on it and report as necessary.

Snow dances needed folks for Thursday!"

Special thanks to Mark IOW and Mark1986 for posting extensive infromation for the weather and snow frecast.

We loved it. Had a perfect 2 bedroom apartment modern, clean new renovated With view to slope. Perfect location in pamporovo as central ski in ski out. Friendly staff, not ovr crowded relaxed athmosphere. our friends (group with total of 7 rooms) all very happy! It is away from city center but close to bowling and 2 nice reaturans.

Just came back from Sevlievo in Bulgaria. Drove up to Hotel Impulse in Uzana where I hired skis, boots and poles for myself and two children for just 17 levs for adult and 10 levs each child and used the hotel ski slope 5 levs each. Perfect for the kids first time as parking right at entrance to hotel and slope is 20m walk! Food in restaurant tasty and cheap. Perfect for beginners!

WOW, thats all i can say about the previous week of my life. The snow conditions were amazing and the people were so friendly. The night life was always active and the rila hotel was especially fantastic. I loved the accommodation at the rila and i loved the way it is right on the slope. I wouldn't have changed a thing about the holiday and i would recommend this resort to everyone including beginners and experts. Overall, i had an amazing time!!!

We just had a wonderful trip to Pamporovo.
We were a group of 10 adults, and 3 small children (1 to 3 years old), who stayed at the Castle complex, in 4 apartments, for a week (7 days stay, 6 days skiing)
Everything at the Castle was great, and the staff was very forthcoming and helpful in every way. The apartments were very practical, and equipped with all necessities. Not luxurious, but really good and adequate in size and layout. You should note though, that towels are not changed every day. Towels are not needed to bring to the spa area and treatments.
The food at the Excalibur restaurant was typical for the area, and well prepared. The staff at the restaurant is also great.
The Castle complex is situated 2-3 km. from Ski center 2 (Malina). It is of course easiest if you are driving, but there are shuttles from the hotel to the ski center and lift. Ski in-/out is possible at the backside of the complex.
We had booked ski- and snowboard packages, and that worked out perfectly as well. The snowboard instructor was a true professional. Patient and very focused on making sure that all of us learned the moves, at our own individual pace. Everyone had a great time, and learned a lot.
The area was perfect for us, as we are all beginners on snowboards. Had we been on skies, I suspect the terrain would not be challenging enough for an entire week.
We can definitely recommend Pamporovo, and the Castle complex, and will be back next year.
